    Loud and dirty building, but kind staff and good price!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very reasonable rent! Kind and helpful staff.
    Cons:
    Incredibly loud building music always coming from right outside doorway. Trash littering stairways and people smoking in lobby and stairwells. Loud people in hallways as well.
    Advice to owner:
    Clean up and update the stairwells and crack down on smoking.
